Project Vampire Sturm Test Subjects
Project Vampir Sturm was a Nazi doomsday experiment created by Heinrich Himmler to create an army of vampires. The project was met with a few failures until it was discovered and destroyed by the Order of the Silver Cross alongside Trevor Bruttenholm with Pearl Jones, Zeke Poole, and Skinner Sweet.
Overview[]
Project Vampir Sturm was part of a secret German research initiative that was made during World War II and was one of the last that were made by Hitler. This occult experiment, overseen by Major Montana Max, sought to turn normal human beings into vampire soldiers using the blood of Mina Harker which contained the power of Alucard himself.
Before the project could see fruitrition, World War II had ended with Nazi Germany defeated and their collection of experiments taken by the Russian occult agency. Despite this, the threat of the Nazi Occult Bureaus greatest and most threatening weapon remained somewhat present in the world.
History[]
Background[]
Vampir Sturm was proposed by Himmler and approved by Adolf Hitler in October 1944. Himmler dispatched a Nazi delegation led by Ilsa Haupstein to Romania to recruit Vladimir Giurescu, who was once one of Dracula's servants, into the German war effort. Giurescu personally met with Hitler in December 1944, but the meeting caused Hitler to realize that an army of such creatures would be absolutely uncontrollable.
Giurescu was arrested and executed but not before they forced him to reveal the location of Mina Harker's body. Haupstein, who had fallen as deeply in love with Giurescu, was devastated; though her devotion to the Nazis' ideals remained strong, she dismissed Hitler as a pathetic weakling who was afraid of being overshadowed by powers beyond him.
Refining Death[]
However, Project Vampir Sturm was not abandoned, but rather refined. Upon locating Mina Harker's body, it was completely drained of blood, and was taken to a laboratory in Berlin, concealed beneath the Ritter Institute for the Mentally Unstable. With the blood, the Nazis attempted to create vampire hybrids which could be controlled, unlike vampires created by Dracula. The initial test subjects were nine handpicked members of the Schutzstaffel attached to the Werewolf Insurgency Division. Unfortunately, five instantly died and the remaining four mutated into rabid, deformed beasts.
Final Effort[]
Accepting that it was hopeless to create vampire soldiers who could turn the tide of the war, the Nazis changed Vampir Sturm for the last time, to create a swarm of these beasts which could be unleashed to wreak havoc upon the world if Germany were to fall to the Allies. In January 1945, 120 of the strongest patients from the Ritter Institute were injected with the vampire blood and frozen mid-transformation in liquid nitrogen.
On April 30th, 1945, as Soviet forces reached Berlin, Hitler ordered General Friedrich Manstein to unfreeze the subjects of Project Vampir Sturm. However, Manstein, who has seen the errors of the Nazis, disobeyed the order and instead sealed the room containing the vampires, before leaving a letter explaining his decisions in the asylum's files.
In 1946, the frozen vampires were recovered by Doctor Herman von Klempt, who loaded them onto a rocket ship and fired towards the United States. The plot was foiled by Trevor Bruttenholm, three American Vampires, and a small company of American and Soviet troops, many of which were soldiers from the Order of the Silver Cross and GRU Division "P", the latter under the demon Varvara Rasputin, and the vampires were destroyed in the ensuing explosion of von Klempt's rocket.
